When the unique super-high ring-shaped city wall of Noland City was in front of him, Aranza, who was speeding, suddenly stopped. In his soul perception, three familiar soul points were slowly approaching, and from their march
The estimated destination in the direction should be the mill on the left hand side of Aranza at this time.
Mills are one of the most neutral existences in the human territory of the Continent of Thorns. Almost every mill owner has enough food to feed several armies. What is strange is that many armies will fight in battles, such as sieges, even if the soldiers continue to fight.
If they are hungry, they will not be interested in milling. They are more willing to pay a high price to buy the grain from the miller's hands instead of taking it by force. This approach will establish an army's integrity in the circle of the miller, so that regardless of whether the army
Wherever the army goes, it can get the support of millers. The pressure on logistics will naturally be reduced drastically.
It is easy to end the life of a soldier on the battlefield. It takes a lot of resources to feed a soldier off the battlefield. The mill is the most important part of these resources. The status of the mill owner is lower than that of the nobles, but his value is higher than that of the nobles.
"Uh-" The groom's clean black riding boots stepped on the wooden frame, and his silk gloves pulled the horse's rope, controlling the luxurious carriage to stop in front of the mill.
Aranza walked to the carriage, gently knocked on the carriage, and said, "Well, the beautiful Miss Jessie, Miss Dolores, and Miss Yvette, would you like to have dinner with me?
"
A soft cry of surprise came from the carriage, and then the door was hurriedly opened, and a figure hugged Aranza almost like a pounce.
Jiexi put her arms around Aranza's neck and said with a smile: "My captain, are you back?"
Aranza stroked her long hair and said, "Well, that red-blooded earth dragon is easy to deal with."
Jessie covered her mouth and chuckled noncommittally. Dolores and Yvette got out of the car. Aranza greeted them and asked, "Well, why are you here."
It turned out that Jie Xi wanted to come here to negotiate business with the miller. She hoped that after the new stronghold was built, the miller could provide them with food. The negotiation did not go well at the beginning. The miller did not want to pay for this group of mercenaries, even if it was based on their clothes.
It can be judged that this group of mercenaries is composed of nobles. Finally, Jie Xi seemed to have thought of something and took out a badge from the space ring, which made the miller lower his head.
This is the emblem of the Lane family. Aranza kept several copies in Jexi's ring and forgot to dispose of them. Unexpectedly, it still has some use. However, this also shows the status of the Lane family in the hearts of the people of Thorns. Aranza pays attention.
Noticing Yvette's change in mood, she turned around and saw that she was frowning in deep thought.
Coming out of the mill, Jessie held Aranza's arm affectionately. Although the two had already confirmed their relationship, it was the first time that Jessie was so intimate with Aranza in public, which made him a little uncomfortable.
Jie Xi smiled slyly and said, "Master, I remember you just said that you wanted to treat us to dinner?"
Aranza was stunned, and suddenly screamed something bad. He was just making a joke, and he didn't expect Jessie to take it seriously. After leaving the Lane family, his experiences along the way made him know the value of money, and Aranza had very little money on hand.
, this is the travel expenses given by Jie Xi when he was preparing to deal with the red-blooded earth dragon.
He touched his head in embarrassment, looked at Jessie's smiling face, then turned his head to see Dolores's smiling face, and then turned his head to see Yvette's expression as it should have been. Alan Sa suddenly felt that he might as well treat them to a meal.
It's better to have dinner, otherwise the consequences will be more serious.
Finally, the luxurious carriage took four people and stopped at a low-class tavern in Norland City.
The three girls didn't say anything and followed Aranza into the tavern. This tavern still has some characteristics. Aranza, Carew and Kim Gates drank here. The famous wine "Tomorrow" here is Noland.
The specialty of the city has an excellent taste, but the alcohol is also strong. The most important thing is that Aranza is quite clear about the price of this tavern.
Of course she won't drink strong alcohol this time. Aranza reluctantly handed the menu to Jessie. According to the etiquette of the original Principality of Lane, the person ordering at the table must be the host's wife. Jessie is naturally Aranza's.
Madam, he is worried about her spending habits...
Fortunately, Jiexi knew what she was doing, so she only ordered a quarter steak and a glass of old red wine, no more, no less, which just emptied Aranza's pocket of money.
Aranza stared at the waiter serving the food with a sad face, chewing the beef fiercely.
The depression lasted for a short time, and soon Aranza merged into the conversation of the three girls, chatting and laughing. Yvette had recently shown signs of integrating into the Thorn Mercenary Group. After all, although she had slept for a thousand years, the real
He is similar in age to them, so it is naturally easier for people of the same age to get along with each other.
"Haha, the King of Heroes is of course the most powerful in our hearts..."
This matter, a shout attracted everyone's attention. After all, it was Aranza's father who was mentioned. Aranza turned her eyes and saw several drunk mercenaries, shoulder to shoulder, laughing loudly.
He didn't care much about their words, but the second sentence that reached Alanza's ears immediately ignited his anger.
"It's a pity that he married a witch, the queen of the Tulip Principality...ha, haha..."
That’s it again!
Aranza stood up and slammed her fists on the table. Her eyes were like fire, blazing towards the drunken mercenaries. Not many people in the noisy tavern paid attention to Aranza's movements, although the attention of the drinkers was also attracted by this.
Several mercenaries were attracted, but most of them were mercenaries who were drunk and spoke in agreement.
A despicable curse, directed at the name of the innocent woman who caused chaos and war in the country. Ling Tulip.
Jessie took Aranza's hand and said, "Aranza, don't be like this! Have you forgotten about Sim?!"
Aranza didn't move. She only felt a chill, a roaring chill coming from his hands wrapped in platinum armor.
"Aranza!" Jessie called out again, even pleading. She didn't agree with what those mercenaries said, but she just didn't want Aranza to be affected by these words again.
He needs to learn restraint.
"Well, I'm fine," Aranza suddenly laughed, sat back on the chair, and chewed the unfinished piece of beef again.
On the contrary, Jiexi was confused by the sudden change and didn't know what to do for a while.
Aranza was still chatting and laughing as she hosted the dinner, but no matter Jessie, Dolores, or Yvette, who had just joined them, they could feel that his smile was forced.
In the end, Aranza finished the food in front of her and saw that the three girls didn't say much. Regardless of etiquette, she directly called the waiter, paid the bill, and left the tavern first.
Jessie looked worriedly at Aranza's leaving figure and wanted to catch up, but she sat slumped powerlessly. Her mother had always been Aranza's heartache, and she tried hard to cure it, but in the end she didn't dare to touch it for fear of
It hurt his heart. Jiexi buried her head between her arms and was speechless, so she could only pull her hair hard.
